Abstract
A method and apparatus for testing a network bootable device provides a bootmode signature on the device to indicate whether a production test is to be performed. If a production test is to be performed, then test software is downloaded over a network from a server to device memory and then executed. If the test is successful, the bootmode signature is updated so that subsequent production tests are not performed. If the production test is not to be performed, then end user software is downloaded from the server to the device and executed.
